The roster was rummaged through for a long time and there was no clue, and Lan Yi leaned on the pillar a little sleepily. The pigeon has been flying out for almost a day, not to mention the disciples of the Yellow Gang, and even the rest of the figures have not been seen. There was no way to deal with the corpses in one place, but fortunately, Ruoyu brought a special spice and sprinkled it around the villa, which also removed a lot of the smell of blood.

Everyone moved to the inner courtyard of the villa, and each found a guest room and moved in first. Ah Mo is in charge of guarding the corpses, although the death of a person should have little investigative value, but Shuli firmly believes that "the dead can also speak, so there must be people who plot to beat these corpses." ”

The sky is sinking, fortunately, Lan Yi and Ruoyu live in the same room, although they are still a little frightened in their hearts, but they are accompanied by someone, and Lan Yi can also be more relaxed.

If the fish is sewing a large piece of clothing, it goes without saying that it is a long-awaited garment. Lan Yi looked at Ruoyu under the lights, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Ruoyu carefully bit off the last thread, gently stroked the sewn clothes, and smiled contentedly.

Lan Yi walked over, sat down next to Ruoyu, and asked half-curiously, half-inquiringly, "Does Ruoyu girl like to leave the adult very much?"

Ruoyu didn't expect it, and didn't know how to answer for a while, so he seemed a little cramped and uneasy, "Where, Lord Shuli is the hall master, and I am his subordinate......"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door. Before the fish could answer, the visitor himself pushed open the door and walked straight in. "I'm still here to disturb the two girls so late, and I hope you Haihan. Bu'er smiled slightly and bowed.

Ruoyu hurriedly got up to greet him, "The master of the step hall is serious, I don't know what is going on?"

Bu'er looked around slightly, took out the roster, brought it to the lamp, and turned one of the pages, "I just studied the roster with Shuli, and found a few abnormalities. ”

Wakayu took the roster and looked at it carefully. Lan Yi didn't understand or understand, so she had to sit lazily and listen to the conversation between the two. Ruoyu looked at the roster while bowing his head and pondering, sometimes flipping through it, sometimes shaking the roster downward, and then said slowly: "Why is this roster missing a page for no reason? Moreover, there is no trace of being torn off." I shook it a bit, and I was sure that there were no dark pages on the roster. ”

Lan Yi glanced at the roster and found that there was nothing wrong with each page, and she wondered, "How can you see that there is a page missing?"

Ruoyu smiled slightly, and patiently only showed her, "Looking at the annual roster, it is not difficult to find that the registration order of this roster is exquisite. ”

The more Lan Yi listened, the more confused she became, and she was embarrassed that she had never experienced these things.

"Look at ......" Ruoyu continued to point to the names on the roster, "Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li ......" Lan Yi immediately understood, she exclaimed, "The roster is arranged in the order of the hundred family names!"

"That's right. Ruoyu smiled with relief, "Although there are many disciples who participated in the martial arts conference, it is impossible for us to know their surnames one by one, but the gangs in the rivers and lakes have not changed much in the past two years, even if they are transferred internally, there are only a few changes in personnel." If we look at last year's registration, we can see that there are fewer people with surnames this year. ”

"These people registered last year, but this year they have lost a page?Could it be that these people have rebelled into internal ghosts, so they have removed a page?" Lan Yi followed Ruoyu's train of thought, and his thoughts gradually became clear.

Ruoyu shook his head and said thoughtfully: "This page does not exist in this roster at all......"

"Huh?" Lan Yi whispered again.

"Miss Wakayu is right. Bu'er, who hadn't spoken for a long time, exclaimed, "Sure enough, it's Bingxue's clever 'Wonderful Hand Girl Zhuge ', this is also the conclusion that I and Suli have reached, this page is not written at all, but in order to confuse our sight, let us follow last year's clues to track down these people." This roster is a deliberate copy, deliberately missing one page. ”

The roster is fake.

"That's not right......" Lan Yi thought about the logical relationship seriously, and the more he reasoned, the more strange he felt, "According to your statement, this person forged the roster, and you are sure that this page does not exist at all through the roster, but there is neither an organ nor a trace of tearing, so you will question that this is a fake at all." You say that the reason they are doing this is nothing more than to mislead you by thinking that the person on the page who disappeared is an inner ghost. If it is so easy for you to find out, why should they do such a thankless task? Wouldn't it be enough to just tear off a page of the real register? Wouldn't it be easier for you to be convinced and fall for him?"

Bu'er listened to Lan Yi's words and frowned. Ruoyu was still deep in thought, for a long time, the candle flame flickered slightly, and she suddenly said in surprise: "If we directly tear off a page on the real register, we will indeed take it for granted that the person registered on this page is very likely to be an internal ghost, and their purpose is indeed easier to achieve, and there is no need to make this kind of disguise that is so easy to expose." But ......" Bu'er and Lan Yi both stared at Ruoyu, waiting for her next sentence.

"What if the real roster can't be torn at all?"

"Then you can make a fake one, and tear it out again!" Lan Yi continued to ask, and Bu'er was even more silent.

"No, we're all going in the wrong direction. Ruoyu smiled slightly, and there seemed to be a mysterious light around him, "At first, we thought it was forged by the enemy to disrupt our train of thought, but there are many contradictions. Now I have finally figured out that the person who forged the roster, using this seemingly clumsy method, actually wants to tell us that the real roster cannot be torn up, and the person on the page who disappeared needs to be investigated. ”

The steps suddenly became clear.

Before, everyone was too stubborn about each other's malice, but they didn't want to open another window and re-enter a new perspective. The fake roster is not torn up in order to tell them that the real roster is the same as the fake roster, and it cannot be torn. And the disappearing page is not a random disappearance, it is a hint of another message for them: the people on this page are strange.

Lan Yi scratched his ears and cheeks for a long time before he finally came to his senses, "No wonder you can cover up the truth by tearing a page, that person didn't do it, it turned out that he was actually trying to tell us the truth." ”

Ruoyu put down the roster in his hand, rubbed his temples, and said slowly: "Who is secretly assisting us? The real roster can't be torn apart, what is the secret on it? Then why don't you just leave the real roster to us?"

Bu'er took the roster and muttered to himself, "Since that person is helping us, this fake roster must be copied according to the real roster, so that we can find clues......"

Lan Yi let out a "huh", took the roster, and gently opened the spine of the book, and a scene that surprised everyone happened. The pages that should have been scattered turned out to be connected, and as the spine opened wider and wider, the pages grew larger and larger. All the pages turned out to be not individual individuals, but a complete folded page.

All the names were displayed in front of the three of them, but nothing else.

Bu'er had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly blew out the lamp and candle. In the dark house in an instant, only fluorescent dots were visible, connected into silk threads.

"Oh my God!" Lan Yi exclaimed again, and all the calligraphy in the dark night disappeared, only the fluorescent patches drew a map on the page.

Ruoyu took a closer look, raised his hand and pointed to the previous and next pages of the disappeared page, and sure enough, he found that an area was missing. Two regions that are not next to each other are put together because of the lack of that page, which is very inconsistent.

"This is the map of the Western Regions!" Bu'er said in a solemn voice, "This piece should be Miluozhuang." ”

Re-lit the candle, all three of them knew it in their hearts. Why don't you keep the real roster, because even if all the secrets are discovered, the real roster will probably be a complete map of the Western Regions when opened. But the people who left the fake register did not want them to investigate the people on the missing page, but to show them that the area drawn on the missing page would be inextricably linked to the tragedy.

After fully understanding, they couldn't help but respect and admire the person who left the code.

"I don't know where this is sacred, it's so powerful......" Sure enough, Ruoyu's tone was full of envy, "We studied together and took a lot of detours before we finally discovered the mystery of this." The person who designed this definitely put a lot of thought into it. ”

Bu'er didn't say anything, his hand stroked back and forth on the roster, and sniffed his finger lightly. "What did you find?" Wakayu asked. Bu'er shook his head, but didn't find any clues, "It's the most ordinary incense, and both men and women may carry it, so I can't tell who it is." ”

"Tuk tuk. A small, small knock sounded at the door.

"Ruoyu girl, Lan Yi girl, step hall master, let's go!" was Amo's voice. The three of them came out in response and found that Su Li and Ah Mo were already ready to go.

"What's the situation?" Bu'er walked to Shuli's side and asked, "The body hasn't been cleaned up yet, so you're in a hurry to leave?" She thought that Shuli didn't know the secrets of the roster, and thought about telling him later.

Shuli left his clothes, waved his sleeves lightly, and said: "The pigeon has not returned yet, and it is estimated that it was intercepted and killed on the way." It seems that the Yellow Gang doesn't know about the news we have here, and others know. ”

"Then they must have been in ambush outside. "It's funny. No matter who it is, no matter how ambush it is, it won't be good here. Regardless of the strength of themselves and Shuli for the time being, one Amo is enough for them to deal with.

Ruoyu covered his mouth and snickered: "In this situation, someone will definitely intercept the pigeon halfway when it flies out, are you afraid that you did it on purpose?"

Su Li stroked his palms and smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were faint, but gentle and graceful.
